Long time no post!

I've had my bottom braces for a little bit over a year now and my ortho said that it's ready to come off this month...maybe next month. I'm happy w/ the results and I can't wait to whiten them. I've had them longer than expected but it's still shorter than most people I knew that had braces. So yaay!

I haven't experience any pain and or discomfort in the past couple of months. My monthly adjustments however had been longer than usual. I find it though that they're having a tougher time tweeking my i-braces (upper braces). Speaking of upper braces...I think I only have 1-2 months and they too are ready to come off. They're just trying to pull my used to be crooked tooth more forward and that's about it.

Out of all the pains, teeth extractions, dry socket, chains, bite blockers, and monthly painful adjustment...I'm so glad I decided to get braces. Best investment ever! I'd do it again! No pain...no gain! I smile more often now and my confidence level sky rocketed...not that I had issues w/ it before but it helps. I'll update my video soon!

6th month!

Wow! half way there *crossing fingers*. My misaligned upper tooth is no longer "misaligned". It happened so fast. Seems like it happened overnight. I don't pay attention to my braces as I used to. It doesn't bother me anymore, however, it keeps me awake at night coz I'm grinding my teeth more often than before and it's hurting my jaw. My ortho said, it happens more so now coz my bite is off (bite blockers). I hope for my next visit they'll be taking these blockers off and have a goodnight sleep.

I-braces are showing better and faster results than my old skool train tracks on the bottom. I don't have that many gaps now. They're focusing more of untwisting one of my lower front tooth. They said after that it should just be a little tweaking here and there. They've made all the major adjustment and they're just going to be focusing on the details. I'm excited!

Adjustment pains? Not as bad as before *phew* but I still have a few sore spots but nothing I can't handle. I've updated my video...feel free to watch...better have a strong stomach :p
